NHS GLOSSARY OF YORKSHIRE MEDICAL TERMS

[MrsBigD]

No offense intended to any Yorkshire folk on here but my former boss who works for the NHS sent me this link :)

Am foreign myself but can proudly admit that I recognised most of the terminology but there are some strange ones LOL

So many words for private parts

And lol at 'my husband/partner is good to me' meaning 'my husband/partner doesn't expect sex'

boo - I can't open it!

I recognise most of them - but fancy missing out 'nesh'.

yes I was quite astounded at the varying terms for 'privates'

I'm a Yorkshire girl but I must admit I've never heard of a "clacker" LOL, thats a new one on me!! The only clacker I know of was those two balls on a piece of string that you used to bang together but got banned in the 1970's because they were lethal!!

I was a Doncaster girl till leaving for uni. Recognise most, although not all have to say. At work loads of the officers say "ay up"

i can't open it either!

PMSL (southerner living in Yorks). I liked 'Barnsley/Rotherham playing at home', and the baby 'roaring'.

Dh insists that if he or his sisters were whinging when they were kids his mum would tell them to 'quit tha roo-ering, or ah'll give tha summat tah roo-er for' (i.e. shut up or I'll smack you).

No 'tootie' (tuttie?) for vagina though, whereas dh insists it's a Yorks expression.

LMAO!

Im a technician at my local Out of ours GP centre and we often have european locums doing shifts, especially in the summer.. have just emailed the document to my bosses suggesting we print it off and keep a copy in the consulting rooms!! lol
